I think this next step (breakaway statement) was necessary and inevitable for the FOTA to be taken seriously by the FIA. However, it doesn't necessarily mean that is what FOTA wants. What it wants is to race for the FIA Formula One Championship because you know what, it's the only one that counts. Teams come and go but FIA and Formula One will always remain. I predict FOTA will fold. The drivers are kidding themselves to think they would rather race in a new championship run under their own rules while other drivers will race for the World Championship. We only consider them the best because they are in F1. If the Hamiltons Massas Alonsos raced in say A1GP would we consider them the best drivers in the world? Don't think so. Would they consider themselves the best? Don't think so. F1 folks. If you want to be the best team or best driver you need to be in F1. FOTA wont even get off the ground due to the lawyers anyway. Bernie E has been around the block more than once. You will see. In the end common sense will prevail and there will be a compromise.
